The Royal Academy of Music is a stimulating and friendly environment with a diverse mix of students and staff from over 50 countries. Based in central London adjacent to Regent’s Park, we have been training musicians to the highest professional standards since our foundation in 1822. Many of the world’s leading musicians and performers studied with us and we are firmly focussed on developing tomorrow’s musical leaders in a number of disciplines including classical, jazz and musical theatre.

The Academy has a busy and thriving orchestral life, providing comprehensive orchestral and ensemble training and exciting performance opportunities with the many eminent conductors and instrumentalists who regularly work with our students. The Concerts Department is at the heart of performance activities at the Academy. Amongst an intensive schedule of performance activity, it co-ordinates an annual schedule of around 100 orchestral/ensemble projects and 250 concerts both within the Academy and further afield, as well as collaborating with professional partners in side by side training schemes and major international festivals.

We are seeking a Concert and Orchestra Assistant to assist with the delivery of the Academy’s orchestral and ensemble programme of activity as well as the running of chamber music concerts and prizes, to ensure that a first-class experience of performance activity is offered to our students as part of their training for professional life.

Educated with a degree in music, applicants will have previous experience of working within arts administration and managing musical events. You will have practical experience of orchestras and ensembles and knowledge of a wide range of repertoire. You will also be enthusiastic and highly motivated with confidence to use your initiative and problem solve as well as being a good team player.
